Abstract

A font for generating interconnected alphanumeric electrode characters adapted for use as an image-generating electrode in flat displays such as electrochromic displays. A display message comprising characters of such font be readily applied to flat display films by printers, e.g. ink jet or laser jet printers, capable of applying electrically conductive ink. The characters in the font are defined by two generally parallel and spaced apart lines where a wide first line has apertures defining the general shape of the character and a second narrow line having curvilinear or segmented portions extending into the aperture of said first line.
